  • In this episode, I am planning to ride to a small village called Mfuwe, in Zambia, right at the South Luangwa National Park. There is a long dirt road leading there, but that route is not without dangers. It's still rainy season, and the rivers there are full of crocs and hippos and there are no bridges. So I have to figure out if the water levels are low enough so I can cross but I'm getting mixed information from the locals..

    Noraly is providing a new type of documentary that beats all competition of high cost showing the world in a completely self contained and natural view without the drama and with a smile.

      Agreed, but I find inspiration, no jealousy. While at 65 my motorcycle adventures stick to epic American tar roads, maybe it will inspire me to change an item or two on the bucket list while I'm still vertical. Watching animals like these that are not behind bars or fences is hard to write about. Many of us have not looked at them eye to eye in THEIR home.

    The BBC was once unique in being able to produce this standard of documentary series, sad to say (as an Englishman) that this is no longer so.
    This 'Itchy Boots' Production' beats anything currently produced by the BBC or any other European terrestrial broadcaster.
    It is all done in a very natural genuine way without a political agenda or an egotistical presenter.
    It is extremely liberating to visually witness a highly talented, intelligent and articulate individual go out there and produce, on You Tube, a documentary like this and with such high production values.

    Noraly…you have surprised us time and again with stunning landscapes and beautiful people of Africa. You have introduced us to the desert, jungle, mountains, rivers , tribal villages and their cultures, local food and dance, the rainy season, hectic cities and busy markets. And now you have introduced the wild and exotic animals of Africa!! I feel this series is now complete! And it’s not over yet! The rest of this season will be a bonus!! What a splendid season!! You are totally awesome! Thank you!! Much love from Texas USA❤

      I may be wrong, but I believe the animals know that the humans in this area pose no threat. Either way, to be able to see a Massive bull elephant raise his head, show us all he's got and put out those big ears to hear whats going on is priceless.

Your videos Noraly had made me and my children see the beauty of each country you'd been too. So many friendly and helpful people from countries we first thought as dangerous. You had definitely made us learn new things. Big thanks to you

    You, Noraly, are doing wonders for the tourist trade in not just Zambia, but most of the countries that you have travelled through. You truly are an ambassador for all that is good in the human species. Your channel also, and very importantly, breaks down barriers and challenges stereotypes and perceptions that most of us have had, or have about Africa and its people's.
    This particular episode was awe-inspiring. Who among us has not wanted to witness wildlife in their natural habitat? Sigh! I wish I were there with you right now, Noraly.

I am currently playing video after video on a seperate screen while I am working, just never getting tired of it. Real people, the real world. She is a true ambassador for the goodness in mankind. Most people of the world we live in are friendly and loving, we should all approach each other with a smile, like Noraly does.

    Noraly has to be naturally a decent human being, she doesn’t seem to be putting on a nice personality just to facilitate her travels. I said so because she trusts everyone she encounters in every country and she also is immediately at ease with them - our African folks are naturally at ease with visitors. I enjoy the ordinary way in which she relates to the people, in addition to her fearlessness. Great job, as usual!

I think it was the first "official" at a road block in Africa so far who was not fondling around with a loaded gun.
